Councillor Robert Boswell, cabinet member for community and environment, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for a new or established family business.

“We’ve had the idea for a café in the park for a long time and as part of the Heritage Lottery funded restoration, we are now in a position to make it happen.

“Many visitors to the park have asked for a café and the former bowls pavilion is an ideal location.”

The deadline is 5pm on Tuesday, April 18. The lease available is five years with the first year rent free.
